JWMaloney Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 In Crystal City and Pentagon City Metro stations, the 02 and 1A sectors of 0303DFxx are used with PCI 403. In Pentagon Metro, the 01 and 19 sectors of 0303DFxx are used with PCI 234. So in my database, I set the notes for each of the sectors differently to match where they actually belong. That is, 0303DF02 and 0303DF1A say "Crystal City/Pentagon City (U)" while 0303DF01 and 0303DF19 say "Pentagon Metro (U)". Despite this, the note for the 01/19 sector is showing even though I'm connected to 1A in the picture. (But then the correct note is used for the neighbor cell!) I know that the sectors are linked so that the app is smart enough to link newly-seen sectors together (as well as connecting B41 with B25/B26) and when you set a site note from within the app it rewrites all the associated ones, which is all fine and preferred, but I didn't think it did that when reading back out of the database as well. Thoughts? - Trip Sounds like you might not be setting strongest_rsrp, strongest_latitutde, and strongest_longitude in your database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 1) There doesn't tend to be usable GPS in subway stations (underground). 2) The neighbor notes were correct. It was the site I was connected to (which had the GCI available for matching) that was incorrect. - Trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It then assigns that note to any other GCIs with the same first 6 characters. That's probably what you are running in to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kct1975 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Okay...so this has probably been answered before, but... When you Export Site Logs, Where is the file saved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Okay...so this has probably been answered before, but... When you Export Site Logs, Where is the file saved? In the SignalCheck directory on the phone itself (not the SD card). So if you plug in your phone and have MTP enabled, on your computer (assuming Windows), your phone should appear, open that, then the phone's storage, then SignalCheck. - Trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleet Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Edit: (Mods if this should be in another Thread Please move it where appropriate) So I'm road tripping this holiday weekend from Seattle To Salt Lake City. I'm hoping they filled in some of the gaps along I-84 in Idaho and Northern Utah but not holding my breath. I figured I'd enable logging in SignalCheck Pro while driving but wasn't positive if I should enable the option for "Log Sites with Missing GCI? Is that really beneficial at all? or is it something that would just make the log file more bloated without any useful info? -J Edited May 26, 2016 by sleet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Mike... In displaying "W-DAS," what/how is SignalCheck Pro detecting DAS? I see this occasionally, often just fleetingly on AT&T band 17 and band 4. I do not think that I have caught it on AT&T band 2. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ I'm pretty sure Mike is detecting based on the last two digits of the GCI. AT&T is very consistent in that way. I've seen B2 DAS before, but mostly B17. - Trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen B2 DAS before, but mostly B17. ^ This; it's all GCI-based. AT&T is very clean with its GCI patterns. I have a very reliable source who provides me with nearly all of my AT&T info. If anyone on AT&T sees a GCI but doesn't see a band indicator, grab a screenshot and let me know; I believe the app has that network 100% covered at the moment. -Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, while I was out and about, I think I spotted the first four-sector AT&T site I've ever seen. It fit the pattern except the fourth sector was a logical continuation of the existing pattern--and was not identified accordingly. So LTE 1900 was 08/09/0A/0B, LTE 700 was 0F/10/11/12, and LTE AWS was 16/17/18/19, but the 0B, 12, and 19 sectors were not IDed. I have screenshots on my AT&T phone and will send them later. - Trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxyguy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 One thing that seems odd is your upload and download channels are different. They should be the same for B41.

Trip Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Considering adding this phone to my collection: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F9N5QXI Particularly for catching AT&T HSPA (unactivated SIM) and possibly T-Mobile AWS/PCS LTE since my LG Leon tends to camp on 700. What does SCP do on a device with dual SIM support? Can it see both at once or is it just one at a time? - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does SCP do on a device with dual SIM support? Can it see both at once or is it just one at a time? Unless my understanding of how a dual SIM device operates is incorrect, it just has two physical SIM slots -- but only one is active at any given time. In no way is the device attached to two networks at the same time. That would require multiple baseband modems, which I do not believe a dual SIM device possesses. Essentially, the inactive slot acts as a carrying case for that SIM and obviates the need to remove and swap between two SIMs. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering why it wouldn't be something resembling SRLTE, where it's authenticated and listening to both at once while only actively connected to one. That doesn't require two modems, right? - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He set one as the default for data and texts and calls, but incoming texts and calls on the other would still work, and it would default to using that one if the other one lost service.

jefbal99 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Depends on the device (active, passive, standby) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_SIM Active has both SIMs active at the same time, i.e HTC Desire 600 dual sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
